My AWD wagon has done 40k of non aligned wheels. They have warn out on the outsides of the wheels pretty bad.

Just looking for a good cheap set of Japanese tyres or a budget set of a known brand, recommendations welcome.

Ill need a wheel alignment and a warrant too.

So looking for a non cowboy as we have been spending money every warrant to keep our oldy but goody up to standard and dont want to get someone saying we need to replace parts that we dont, because our last mechanic, who has 98%/5 stars on nocowboys said we wont have any majors but wheels next wof. Of course something could happen like a cv boot, but we have replaced them. But I have heard horror stories of mechanics milking working for wofs.

thats a captain obvious, but if you read it again what im saying is i am told they point out potential problems that are not current wof issues. their is a section to note these things. vtnz makes its money of wofs.

lets just forget the wof advice as im never taking my vehicle to a wof centre. it would be too much like buying an iphone after watching we created everything advertising.

found a good tyre shop, cheap and well thought of. have expensive rubber but dont need it on the wagon.

I'd second Discount Tyres in Grey Lynn - do a bit of ringing around first (Tony's, Beaurepaires etc) to get an idea of price, then go to Discount with the price, they will match or beat. I saw last night on TV that Beaurepaires are doing buy 4 pay for 3. As for WOF, there is a VTNZ testing station in Kingsland I think.
